July 2018 Goals
Alright y’all. It’s a new month and a new opportunity to refocus on my goals! Later this week I’ll be continuing my “The Mother Runnin’ Truth” series and talking more about the mistakes I made setting goals for postpartum fitness…but for right now we can go with the short version: they aren’t happening. I am […]
Nine Months Postpartum
When I sat down and thought “Hey let’s write a nine months postpartum” post I immediately had two questions: How the heck is my little tiny baby nine months old already?! And how the heck am I so incredibly far from reaching the goals that pregnant me thought were so reasonable?! Remember my New Year’s […]
The Mother Runnin’ Truth: comparison
Hi there! I am (finally) kicking off this series with the real goods. In other words I am finally sitting down to gripe about all the things that make running as a mom so much more challenging. Today I want to start with the really really big one that I struggle with a lot…and that is […]
The Mother Runnin’ Truth: my daily mom life
Ok, so if you tuned in to my rant a little while ago, you may already know that I a starting this series to really talk about the truth of running as a mom. If you missed it, check it out here.) As I get started with these posts, I want to set the scene […]
The Mother Runnin’ Truth

Monday Miles: June 3, 2018
Apparently I missed an entire month. I wish I could say that the past month was more productive for running than it was for blogging…but I am not 100% sure that would actually be true. Summer has officially arrived in Texas and it came with a vengeance. Sometimes I find myself wondering if I was […]
Monday Miles – April 30, 2018
Well, my computer apparently ate my update from last week. Womp womp womp. I know I had promised an update on the “why” behind my return to running and all that jazz. What I meant to share last Tuesday was that I broke my runstreak and didn’t write the update because I got a dog! […]
Monday Miles – April 23, 2018
Oh my lanta. How have I not posted since January?! I pinky promise I am back on the wagon this time. Life has been all kinds of crazy and running took a back seat for quite some time. I’ll be posting a life update tomorrow but for today I want to focus on the fact […]
Monday Miles: January 8, 2018
I have missed writing these posts! Now that I am back to running on a (semi) regular basis and I have a mileage goal for the year, I figure it is time to start keeping track of my progress as well! This past week I went for 3 runs and totaled 8 miles. If you […]
